Summary of key themes and thoughts on how to move this work forward

Steering committee members will reflect on key takeaways from the workshop, including:

  • What would be the value in constructing national-level measures of convergence?
  • What ideas and strategies would be most worth pursuing to push thinking on this initiative forward?
  • What framework could NCSES use for measuring convergence?
  • What definitions and criteria would we consider appropriate and what are their limitations?
  • What types of NCSES products would be most valuable and for what audiences?
  • What should NCSES prioritize as part of its work in this area?

This Proceedings of a Workshop summarizes the presentations and discussions at the Workshop on the Implications of Convergence for How the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) Measures the Science and Engineering Workforce, which was held virtually and livestreamed on October 22-23, 2020. The workshop was convened by the Committee on National Statistics to help NCSES, a division of the National Science Foundation, set an agenda to inform its methodological research and better measure and assess the implications of convergence for the science and engineering workforce and enterprise. The workshop brought together scientists and researchers from multiple disciplines, along with experts in science policy, university administration, and other stakeholders to review and provide input on defining and measuring convergence and its impact on science and scientists.
